Do you want to have the map changed so Dust territories are given out evenly?

much better, though "State bonuses include dust bowl" could be read to suggest that each bonus includes the ENTIRE dust bowl.

Instead I'd drop the state (which is redundant after the heading) and just write "Bonuses include drought regions." (with the period) since that is consistent with what you call them below.

And in the above text the punctuation should be inside the quotes, I believe.

I'm cool with this... I guess I'll leave it here for a while & see what others have to comment on.

rj, on page 30, i think the "previous"/"new" titles are the wrong way around on the images - it has "new" with grey and vice versa, but this is contray to the poll and the first post also.

i voted for the "previous" i.e. the grey


[EDIT]: i think i see now that they are speaking in different contexts, but it's still a little confusing.

No it's right. I changed the New back to gray, so in the span of just tonight, there are really 2 news :? :?:

How about 'Old New' and 'New Old'...;)

I think the addition of the text above the mini map does the trick.

right, fix the punctuation in the legend and it's good to go in my book. Period after "Bonuses include drought regions" and move the period after "Dust Bowl" to be inside the quotation marks.

agreed
Don't now why people on here don't like being cooks, remember under siege: A former SEAL, now cook, is the only person who can stop a gang of terrorists when they sieze control of a US Navy battleship.

Poll results:

Which central drought region color do you prefer?

Previous Version - more grey. It gives a drier feel and looks good. 60% [ 9 ]

New Version - It blends better with the map, and casuses less confusion in state borders. 40% [ 6 ]

Well, everyone has passed off on this one. So I think it's just a matter of waiting for Andy.
